Photoshop Brushes

I drew a picture of a whale using black and two gray tones then converted it into a brush. The gray tones are less opaque than the black so they show up as lighter versions of whatever color you choose (in this case blue tones). I made a starfish picture also using black and grays and converted that into a brush. I turned on scatter, size, rotation and hue variety so when you make a stroke with the brush it scatters about slightly different starfish. I like how my composition turned out, I was feeling nautical.
